Started the 4.6 build this week >

[jeremy canter]

I pulled the motor out of the cobra over the week-end and gutted it down to the block > only found one bad rod. good thing the block wasn't hurt > I almost had to buy a stroker kit > I bought a nice set of Egale rods and Manley will supply the pistions some time this month. I'll post a pic when I get the short block put back together > The heads are going to get worked over to but no cams for now >
I'm toying witht he idea of supercharging the motor >has anyone ever made a custom roots supercharger for there car > I found a 3.1 L Roots off a 08 SHELBY GT500 and the guy only wants $400 for it > I was thinking about a spacer plate to lift it above my lower intake and pulling the long runner tube's out to clear the intercooler >

Ouch. Best of luck with the build. It will be nice to have those forged internals. As far as your s/c plans I haven't looked a ton at the GT500 superchargers going on to our GT's. Several people have good things to say about tork tech but everything I have seen from them is to upgrade our cars to fit the 03-04 cobra s/c. Here is the link: Terminator Intercooled Kit for the '99-04 GT

lol thanks for the warning cause i was considering a jlt actually cause i lose the cold air tube for my KB hahaha i have a big air kit with the stock airbox lol

but that has always made me nervous about cold air kits in the fenderwell like that

I love my JLT cold air > felt very peppy after I put it and the throttle on my car > just don't buy the one that fits down in to the fender-well



Got off work and it was raining, my buddy has a new ss and we were playing around , got serious and I found a deep water puddle > ouch .

ALL THE PARTS BEING USED FOR THE SHORT BLOCK CAN BE USED TO BUILD A 2V MOTOR > I PLAN TO USE A BLOCK GIRDLE TOO. I want the sucker to rev to 8g with ease.

You were playing in the rain?
Racing? Seeing who can go deepest in the water?

 

[jeremy canter]

It had been raining for three or four days so all the storm drains were full, we just got off work at about 7 in the morning sun wasn't up good yet and we started playing there was three of us first went threw the puddle the second swerved at the last second and I was third coming around the conner and didn't see it till the last sec. and ran threw it > motor sucked up the water and bogged a little and then was fine > ran good for the next 20 or so miles> I was almost home and down shifted and brought the RPM's above 3500 so the second intake valve's opened up and in went all the water . I was coming to a stop anyway so thats why the motor damage was jus one rod > it hit and popped and I hit the key
